A heartthrob from Sapcote is set to appear on an ITV dating show on Saturday night.

Ryan Morgan, 23, will go face to face with 30 beauties to try to bag himself a date to the Isle of Fernando's, with the help of ‘no likey no lighty’ host Paddy McGuinness,

Ryan, a self employed plumber at RG Plumbing and Heating, said it was the most nerve-wracking experience of his life.

The former Mount Grace and John Cleveland College student, said: “I was so nervous. I had to stand in the lift for about 10 minutes and coming down it was the scariest thing I have ever done.

“People can expect me to do a couple of messed up dance moves and a bit of excitement. I can normally dance but being in front of 30 girls that are harsh was pretty daunting.

“I got to meet Paddy and Mark Wright. Paddy was really nice - he made me feel really at ease.”

Ryan said he was scouted for the show while he was working in Eastbourne. He said he received a friend request on Facebook from an ITV worker who asked him if he wanted to be on the show. After successfully making it through various audition stages the eligible bachelor was whisked off to film the show at The Maidstone Television Studios.

Ryan, who also helps out at his local youth club, added: “At first I thought it was just one of the lads messing around.

“I had watched it with my old girlfriend when I didn’t go out but I never though about applying.

“It was actually really fun - it was the best experience I have ever had in my life.

“I filmed the show on Saturday where the audience was full.

“I don’t remember a lot of it - it’s a bit of a blur. It was a bit like an out of body experience.

“I am buzzing to see it. I just hope I don’t look like a gorm on TV.”

To see if Ryan finds his match made in heaven tune into ITV on Saturday at 8pm.

His mum and dad, Cliff and Jane, who own the Red Lion pub in Sapcote will be putting on a special event at the pub on Saturday so everyone can watch the show. The event starts at 7.30pm and Irish band The Craic will be playing afterwards.
